    摘要: The present invention relates to agricultural practices for maximizing carbon sequestration, enhanced productivity, sustainable farming and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. In one embodiment, there is provided a method comprising: planting a Brassica carinata variety as a second crop in rotation with a first crop or to replace fallow; implementing land management practices to reduce the use of fossil fuel inputs and to maximize the capture of atmospheric carbon by the plant material of Brassica carinata; harvesting of the Brassica carinata variety to obtain the grain; and returning about 70% to about 90% of all plant material from the Brassica carinata variety aside from the grain to the soil. As a result, the overall greenhouse gas emissions associated with agriculture are reduced. In some embodiments, the method further comprises producing grain for use in the production of a plant-based feedstock for producing low carbon intensity fuels; for adding carbon in soil; and/or acquiring a carbon credit.

    摘要: Treating pyrolysis oil to yield a liquid fuel or liquid fuel precursor includes combining the pyrolysis oil with one or more co-solvents to yield a mixture, and hydrotreating the mixture to yield the liquid fuel or liquid fuel precursor. The co-solvent can include one or more alcohols. The liquid fuel can be a transportation fuel, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, or marine fuel. The liquid fuel precursor can be a transportation fuel precursor, such as a gasoline precursor, a diesel fuel precursor, a jet fuel precursor, or a marine fuel precursor.
